Economic growth and financial development in Turkey: new evidence

&
Pages 595-600 | Published online: 07 Dec 2010
 

Abstract

We examine the link between financial development and economic growth in Turkey for the period 1991 to 2005 using quarterly data. We use relatively new time series techniques that are less prone to bias to examine this relationship. We also construct a comprehensive financial development index using principal component analysis. When we control for the possible effects of inflation and monetary and fiscal policies on monetary aggregates and the economic growth rate, we fail to find any long-run causality in either direction. The result is also confirmed by generalized impulse response analysis.

Notes

1Levine (Citation2003) and Ang and McKibbin (Citation2007) mention this problem, and the latter uses a methodology that is also used in this study to construct a more dependable proxy.
